Band information

Captain Cleanoff is grind band formed in the South Australian town of Mt Gambier in 1996 with Christian Dicer on drums before moving to Adelaide sometime afterward. Heath Twigden replaced Dicer in 1997. When early bassist Michael Slottagraf left the band, Johnson played bass until White joined the fold. Murray replaced Twigden in 2001. The group has members who now live in three different states so live work is limited, however they have played at Metal for the Brain twice.

The band supported Napalm Death in 2007 and the album was re-released that September with bonus live tracks and the songs from both splits included. A new album was released in March 2008 and after a support slot with Pig Destroyer the band will launch a national tour in November.
